Chapter 10 - Thank you, Brian

---

It was Christmas morning at the Griffin house, and everyone was opening their presents. Stewie and Brian were sitting near the tree.

"It's from me, Brian," Stewie said, handing his present to the dog. "Merry Christmas."

Brian opened the gift. It was a crayon drawing Stewie drew of himself, Brian and Vinny, with the words "Friends Forever" written on top.

"Stewie," Brian began. "It's wonderful. Thank you."

"And your gift to us is wonderful, too," Stewie said, referring to Vinny. "He's a great addition to the family."

Vinny came in and gave Brian a hug.

"Merry Christmas, Brian," Vinny whispered.

"You, too, Vinny," Brian replied.

As Brian and Vinny hugged, Stewie thought, smiling, "Thank you, Brian. I never will forget what you did for me six seasons ago. And for that, I'm forever grateful."
